Information and photos from Jenny

We are ECSTATIC with the new information Jenny has given us. Jenny’s letter is the italicized portions below:
Juliet, Thanks for sharing with me your blog.
Mao Xin Jue came to True Children’s Home Jan. 10, 2008. When Xin Jue came we were told by the orphanage that she had a cleft lip and palate. However after having a medical check in Dongguan it was determined she only had a cleft lip.
Through True Children’s Home Xin Jue had cleft lip surgery Jan. 30, 2008 which was performed by Dr. Li at Tung Wah Hospital in Dongguan. He is a very skilled Chinese surgeon that studied in the US.
When you come to China for the adoption of Xin Jue you are welcome to travel to Dongguan, visit True Children’s Home and Tung Wah Hospital. I would be glad to arrange for you to meet Dr. Li and his staff too.










The first photo is of Dr. Li and his staff, the second is Dr. Li with Jenny Smith (we think she is holding Violet).
The Emma Thompson Sunday School Class at the First Methodist Church in Conway, SC provided the funding for Xin Jue’s cleft lip surgery.
Todd found their web site (www.fumcconway.org), so I called and talked to Pastor Mac Kinnett and asked that he forward our contact information to the Sunday School group so we could find out how they found out about TCH and how they chose to help Violet. I was quite emotional and he was excited to be connected with us. It will be fun to find out how their history joins with ours.
Xin Jue transitioned into True Children’s Home foster care April 1, 2008 and was there through June 10, 2008 when she transitioned back to Maoming Orphanage into Grandma Program with High the Sky.
The first photo is of Violet with her foster mother Zhang Zhao Lian, Violet was their third foster child. The second photo is of her foster parents Zhang Zhao Lian and Li Jiu Hui with their fourth foster child.
Attached are the most recent pictures we have of Xin Jue before she transitioned. Enjoy the pictures of your beautiful daughter!
Keep me posted on your travel plans. Even though Xin Jue is no longer at True Children’s Home I will still come to the Adoption Center on adoption day and look forward to seeing precious Xin Jue again and meeting you and Todd.
Take Care, Jenny
